Question

A style of communication in which much of the information is contained in the contexts and nonverbal cues rather than expressed explicitly in words is referred to as _____ communication.

Answer 1

High context (communication).

Step-by-step explanation:

As the example describes, a high context type of communication is that in which much of the information is contained in the contexts and nonverbal cues rather than expressed explicitly in words.

In other words, high context types of communication rely heavily on context, like nonverbal cues: could be different types of looks or glances, silly faces, hand movements, postures, etc. For example, if I'm in a bar and I raise my hand looking at a waiter and pretend like I'm writing something in an invisible paper, it's most likely that the waiter will think that I'm asking for the check.

Answer 2

High context communication

Step-by-step explanation:

In high-context communication, only a part of information is expressed verbally. A greater part of the message is being imterpreted from the context: the person and nonverbal behaviour, personal history, the communicative situation, and the interaction process. These kinds of messages are often interpreted with the help of certain cues which carry cultural meanings. A smile, could mean a cue for interactional interpretation. In many cultural contexts it may mean well-being or happiness; in some cultures, a smile is also being used in certain situations to express embarrassment or even hate

There is high demand for nonverbal elements; voice tone, facial expression, gestures, and eye movement carry significant parts of conversation.Verbal message is indirect; one talks around the point.
